In preparation for the full-scale invasion, Russia started gathering troops on the Ukrainian border in April 2021. Their numbers were higher than at any time since 2014, when the Russian military aggression against Ukraine began. By mid-February 2022, almost 190,000 Russian troops had been waiting near Ukrainian borders, and on February 24, they moved into Ukrainian land, bringing only death and destruction.
Since the first days of the full-scale war, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been publishing daily reports about the situation on the frontline and the total combat losses of the enemy, which grow bigger every day.
As of February 1, 2025, Russian combat losses amount to 839,040 troops, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

As of February 1, 2025, Russian tank losses in Ukraine reached 9,902 units, in addition to 20,653 lost armored personnel vehicles. Many of those were destroyed by Ukrainian defenders (and some even got stolen by Ukrainian farmers) and left on Ukrainian land as Russian troops were retreating from the Kyiv, Kharkiv, or Kherson regions, destined to be turned into scrap metal.
In more than 35 months of full-scale war, Ukrainian forces also managed to destroy 28 Russian warships and boats, including the infamous “Moskva”, the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, as well as one submarine.
What are the Russian aircraft losses in Ukraine?
369 Russian planes and 331 helicopters were shot down by February 2025. In addition, Russian combat losses include more than 3 thousand cruise missiles and more than 23 thousand UAVs.
